Default Have audio/video of "fixed"heads? LS7

Anyone have this to compare to unfixed heads? Especially if you have a later build 11/12/13? Ls7 motor. Thx.

When I got my Ahp heads (PM guides) done on my 2008 26k mile Z06, I was hoping there would be a huge difference in valve train noise. Honestly, it sounds just as loud as before. The valve train "tick" is extremely audible with the windows rolled up from 1500-2500 rpmish.

I know it's not the answer you were looking for, but maybe that might help some anxiety that I also felt after fixing the car. Curious what others have to say, because it's usually the opposite of my case, I think placebo but idk...

We have a couple Videos on our Youtube where we go over the engine with the camera right after the swap:

If you wanna try an quite the LS tick that’s gonna come from the correct sized push rod, and better lifters. The Johnson 2110 SLD are real nice drop ins 👍🏻🇺🇸

Thanks that's exactly the comment I was looking for. Loud before, loud after. So you really can't go by sound at all.
